Risk Factors for Adverse Maternal Outcomes following Expectantly Managed Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes
Conclusion In this cohort, maternal morbidity occurred in 17.7% of patients with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes. Private insurance, body mass index ≥40, tobacco use, and cesarean delivery were associated with higher odds of morbidity. These data can be used in counseling and to advocate for smoking cessation.
